Pretties

This book was really confusing for me, possibly because I haven't read this first book (Uglies). It's about a girl named Tally Youngblood and it's set in a sort of parallel universe where people are Uglies and then become Pretties. They have all sorts of future technology and surgery is a regular procedure for them.

I was so lost throughout the book because it was so complicated and hard to follow that the only real thing I understood was that apparently Tally had lost some of her memories from before she became a Pretty, as had most of the other Pretties. She discovered some sort of pill that she herself had made in some sort of alter-ego Past Tally state. Even that had me completely confused.

All in all it was a good book but I would definitely recommend reading Uglies first. I don't usually have trouble picking up the storyline even if I've forgone earlier novels but with this one it really isn't easy to catch the gist.
